A tabby cat has been observed intently watching a weather broadcaster's pointer as it moves across the screen. With cold fronts arriving in waves, even cats are starting to pay attention to the weather news. A pet owner in Japan has always tuned into weather programs, but interestingly, their cat named "Raku (楽)" cannot resist pouncing at the broadcaster's pointer, as if playing with a cat toy.
This amusing scene has entertained many online viewers. The owner shared on X (formerly Twitter) that their household regularly watches weather segments, but recently, a new loyal viewer has emerged. Raku seems to have developed a fascination with the weather presenter, mistaking the pointer for a plaything and following its every movement with enthusiasm.
The owner humorously noted that Raku rushes over whenever the weather segment begins, fixating on the pointer on the screen and often jumping towards it, much to the amusement of the owner. This playful interaction has even caught the attention of the weather presenter, who retweeted the video, expressing joy at being able to play along with Raku.
